All trails were dry, easy to traverse and had been groomed fairly recently. The only animals seen today were the longhorns; there were some birds out but they were not abundant. The one creature we saw the most of, were spiders - specifically, Garden Spiders! It seemed every minute or two, we saw another spider either in it's web or on a plant close to the trail. Grasshoppers were also evident; these were "normal" grasshoppers, the larger ones we saw only a time or two.

We had the trails to ourselves with the exception of seeing a few mountain bikers and a pair of equestrians.

NOTES

Water and info kiosk available at Bell's Trailhead; water is located at various campsites near the trailhead.
